本文整合组织生存、社会联系与可持续性理论，基于美国文化非营利组织的可持续管理实践，提出社会联系与组织可持续性关系的概念框架，探讨社会联系的前因及其对可持续性的作用。
Much scholarship on organizational sustainability has focused on organizational survival and strategies aimed at financial independence. However, there is increasing awareness that organizational social connectedness may be equally important for longer-term organizational sustainability. This article bridges theories of organizational survival, social connectedness, and sustainability research, with sustainable management practices from the field of the US culture nonprofits to investigate the questions: What are the antecedents of organizational social connectedness? What role does social connectedness play for the sustainability of organizations? Our analysis results in a conceptual framework of the relationship between the social connectedness and sustainability of cultural nonprofits.
